Happy day from someone who came from da Range in the 8th district.
When I heard that old senile coot talking about cap and trade I nearly died. The best jobs in the 8th district are in the iron mines who burn tons of diesel a day to power the plants. They have had enough of furloughs, layoffs and call backs and have finally realized how glad they are to have jobs.
I never thought I would see it come on the red range. Growing up there as a republican you really felt outnumbered.
It is not all rosy up here in the 8th today, but it is better. We did replace the house and senate with Republicans, but the liberals still control the city council and school board. (Though we did make some inroads into the school board as well i guess)We can’t win them all.
